Five Nations Golf Club
This is one of the hardest golf courses in the whole of Belgium. It is located near the small town of Marche-en-Femme. The golf course is carved out of the steep hills. Going to the green and tees would certainly test the calf muscles of many golfers.

Golf de Durbuy
Durbuy is one of the oldest places in Belgium, it dates back to the 14th century. Golf de Durbuy is situated on the outskirts of the town and it is quite similar to the Five Nations Golf Club.
It may not be that hilly but it certainly has many trees. The golf course also has a spa and a restaurant, offering wide range of food varieties.
